How is the dose set?

0

Under a period of one week the Duodopa® effect is tested and the dose set. After a treatment period of a few weeks or months it is possible for the receptors to adapt to constant stimulation and so the dose may even need to be reduced. Another factor is that the patient´s movements are different in the home environment, which may also require some adjustment of the dose afterwards.
